[ And he's glad for it. His own joining had felt... so nice, honestly. The Undying are wonderful people, working hard while living in the shadows, but the people of the Hideaway just feel so different. They don't perceive him as a symbol. They consider him a person, just like any of them would be. And now Dion is that, too. Just a person.

Any derogatory terms help, really. So long as you don't call it anything respectful.
